How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Clock Face

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Clock Face

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

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

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Clock Face clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Clock Face

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s 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 picture:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Clock Face

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
