Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Crawford
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Crawford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
