About our coloured bath resurfacing in Butler's Cross

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Butler's Cross customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Butler's Cross: your questions answered

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
