Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Telegraph Hill

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Telegraph Hill

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Telegraph Hill

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Telegraph Hill. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Telegraph Hill?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Common questions in Telegraph Hill

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Repair or replace in Telegraph Hill?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

For anyone letting property in or around Telegraph Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
