How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Clouston
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Clouston
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Clouston. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Clouston?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Clouston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Clouston. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Clouston?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
