Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Wanstead
We travel to Wanstead for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What affects the price in Wanstead
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wanstead
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Wanstead
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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, typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Wanstead
Are there extra charges for Wanstead?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Wanstead. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
