Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Claygate

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Claygate. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Claygate

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:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Common questions in Claygate

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Claygate?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
