When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Crackenthorpe
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crackenthorpe as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Landlord and trade work in Crackenthorpe
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Crackenthorpe?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
