DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Coloured bath resurfacing in West Ham without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.
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 questions in West Ham
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are there extra charges for West Ham?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so West Ham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Ham
For anyone letting property in or around West Ham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to West Ham. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Ham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We don’t add 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.
