Coloured bath resurfacing for Cross Inn homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cross Inn

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Cross Inn

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Cross Inn customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cross Inn. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Cross Inn

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the entire of Ceredigion?

Everywhere in the UK, Cross Inn included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
