Coloured bath resurfacing in Crawley End

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Crawley End

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Crawley End: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover Crawley End?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Crawley End and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Crawley End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Crawley End. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

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

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Crawley End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
