Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Caulcott

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

Caulcott: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

All of Bedford Borough, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What about the toilet?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Caulcott?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What affects the price in Caulcott

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Caulcott. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why Caulcott customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
