Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Older homes around Claverton Down may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Claverton Down without replacing anything
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Somewhere as small as Claverton Down, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Claverton Down and across Bath and North East Somerset. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in Claverton Down
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
