Need coloured bath resurfacing in Cricket Malherbie?

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cricket Malherbie

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Cricket Malherbie customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Cricket Malherbie

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What about the toilet?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you come to Cricket Malherbie?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cricket Malherbie. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I book?

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cricket Malherbie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
