Coloured bath resurfacing in California without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in California
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your FK1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in California
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Most customers in California get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

California questions
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to California?
We do. Repair technicians travel to California from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in California?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
