About our coloured bath resurfacing in Craghead
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Craghead
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover Craghead?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Craghead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What affects the price in Craghead
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Craghead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Common problems we fix in Craghead
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
