Coloured bath resurfacing for Clivocast homes

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Coloured bath resurfacing in Clivocast, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Clivocast and across the Shetland Islands. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Clivocast: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Clivocast?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Clivocast. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clivocast as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Clivocast, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Clivocast

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
