How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Hackney

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

Upper Hackney: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work in Upper Hackney?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Hackney. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Upper Hackney and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Hackney. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not 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

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upper Hackney, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Upper Hackney?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Hackney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean.

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

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
