How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Crawford
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Crawford
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 affects the price in Crawford
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.

- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
