Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Crockenhill

Coloured bath resurfacing in Crockenhill without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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, the material 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 us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Crockenhill

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Crockenhill. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
