Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cradlehall
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Cradlehall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Cradlehall and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
