Need coloured bath resurfacing in Cranford St Andrew?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cranford St Andrew

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Cranford St Andrew questions

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cranford St Andrew. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Cranford St Andrew, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
