Coloured bath resurfacing in St Paul's Cray

Coloured bath resurfacing in St Paul's Cray, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in St Paul's Cray

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in St Paul's Cray

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover St Paul's Cray?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Paul's Cray for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Paul's Cray. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BR5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in St Paul's Cray

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlord and trade work in St Paul's Cray

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
