Coloured bath resurfacing for Crayford homes

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Crayford

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Crayford

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Crayford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Crayford questions

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Crayford.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Crayford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

You do not 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 will reply with a fixed price.
