How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Crossgates
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Crossgates. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Common questions in Crossgates
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crossgates.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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.
Materials we work on in Crossgates

Repair or replace in Crossgates?
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. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Landlord and trade work in Crossgates
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
