Coloured bath resurfacing in Calton Lees, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Calton Lees?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Calton Lees

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calton Lees use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Calton Lees

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Calton Lees

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Calton Lees clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Calton Lees. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
