Coloured bath resurfacing for Clifton homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Clifton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Clifton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Clifton questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Clifton?

We do. We send a technician to Clifton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clifton. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Clifton

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Clifton?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Clifton?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Clifton clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
