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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Clift

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Clift, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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