Coloured bath resurfacing in Scampton 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. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scampton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common problems we fix in Scampton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
