Coloured bath resurfacing near Cracoe

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cracoe, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Cracoe

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cracoe

What about the toilet?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cracoe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Cracoe

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Cracoe. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole suite

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cracoe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
