Coloured suite to white in Upton, Greater London
Local coloured bath resurfacing for Upton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Upton
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common problems we fix in Upton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Upton: your questions answered
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Upton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
