Coloured bath resurfacing in Cross in Hand, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

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 photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross in Hand use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
