Coloured bath resurfacing for Underhill homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Underhill

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Underhill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for Underhill

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you cover Underhill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Underhill and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Underhill

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Underhill clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

We price from pictures 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.
