Repairing versus replacing in Calton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Calton clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Calton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Calton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Calton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Calton questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Calton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
