About our coloured bath resurfacing in Crabtree

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crabtree and across West Sussex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Crabtree

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Crabtree

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.

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. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
