Coloured bath resurfacing near Cross

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cross without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Cross questions

How soon can you come?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cross and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What we are called out for in Cross

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Choosing a repair company

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Cross

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 usually the cheaper route.
