What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included. In a London neighbourhood like World's End, we sort parking first: a permit or bay close to the door helps. Nothing is taken out of the property; the work happens where the suite is.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in World's End

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

From period terraces to purpose-built flats, homes in World's End vary a lot, so we see cast iron, steel and acrylic baths here. We repair all of them in place.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in World's End

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

For older houses around World's End, near landmarks such as St John's Church Centre, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in World's End

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to World's End. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in World's End

My house in World's End is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Generally, yes. Older coloured suites are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Can you fix coloured suites in a rental near Imperial Wharf station?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is generally quicker than replacing.

Do you cover World's End?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to World's End and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in World's End?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. In a London home like many in World's End, replacing a suite also means getting the old one out and the new one in, often up stairs, plus parking for the fitters and room for any waste. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
