Coloured bath resurfacing for West Dulwich homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in West Dulwich

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in West Dulwich and across Greater London. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in West Dulwich

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in West Dulwich, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in West Dulwich and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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