Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in California
Do you work in California?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to California. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so California is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Landlord and trade work in California
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in California use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What else we do in California
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in California, and we’ll 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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair

- 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)
