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.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Caton without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Caton

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Caton

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Caton. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Caton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Most customers in Caton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Questions from Caton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Caton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repairing versus replacing in Caton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What a repair cannot 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)

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