Coloured bath resurfacing for Crockernwell homes

When to call us in Crockernwell

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

FAQs for Crockernwell

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Crockernwell?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Crockernwell.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crockernwell

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Crockernwell. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price.
