Coloured bath resurfacing in Crofton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Crofton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Crofton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Crofton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Crofton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Crofton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Crofton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Crofton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
