Coloured bath resurfacing for Clive homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Clive

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Clive

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Clive clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What affects the price in Clive

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clive. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CW7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Clive

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Clive?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Clive and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
