Coloured bath resurfacing in Scammonden without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scammonden and across Calderdale. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Scammonden

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire suite

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Scammonden: your questions answered

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can landlords book you?

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

Common problems we fix in Scammonden

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

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Scammonden clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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

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