Coloured bath resurfacing near Crawley Down

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Crawley Down?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crawley Down and across West Sussex. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Crawley Down?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What affects the price in Crawley Down

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crawley Down. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Crawley Down

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Most clients in Crawley Down get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
