Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Cross

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cross without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Cross

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Cross

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything

FAQs for Cross

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Cross?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
