Coloured bath resurfacing for Camulodunum homes

Common questions in Camulodunum

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Camulodunum

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Camulodunum

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Camulodunum

If you manage property in Camulodunum, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
