Coloured bath resurfacing in Camelon

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Camelon

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

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.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Camelon

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Camelon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Camelon clients choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Camelon

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Camelon.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

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