About our coloured bath resurfacing in Calton
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Calton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Calton questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover Calton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Calton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
