Repairing versus replacing in Crombie

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Crombie clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Crombie

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Crombie

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Crombie

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Crombie?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Crombie and the rest of Fife. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Landlord and trade work in Crombie

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

What affects the price in Crombie

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Crombie. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crombie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
