Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- Items cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Vauxhall
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Vauxhall
Landlords, agents and businesses in Vauxhall
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vauxhall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from Vauxhall
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Common problems we fix in Vauxhall
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Vauxhall, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Vauxhall
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.

- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
