Common questions in Stoke Newington
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you work in Stoke Newington?
We do. We send a technician to Stoke Newington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?

Are you accredited?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Stoke Newington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
