Questions from Clifton

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Clifton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Clifton

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Clifton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Clifton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
