Coloured bath resurfacing for Clifton Village homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Clifton Village

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  • Faded or patchy colour

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
