Coloured bath resurfacing in Crawleyside, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crawleyside as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Crawleyside questions

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Are there extra charges for Crawleyside?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repair or replace in Crawleyside?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Crawleyside, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Crawleyside

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
