About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cross Lane
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Most jobs around Cross Lane are in family homes and bungalows. A chip, rust spot or worn surface is repaired in a single visit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Cross Lane
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cross Lane. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Cross Lane
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Paul's Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cross Lane
Is it worth repairing old coloured suites in a period home in Cross Lane?
Usually: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Cross Lane?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we tidy up before we leave.
Repairing versus replacing in Cross Lane
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. For a home around Cross Lane where the suite is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
