Coloured bath resurfacing in Caldecote, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Caldecote

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Caldecote?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
