Coloured bath resurfacing in Crossgates without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Crossgates
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What affects the price in Crossgates
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Crossgates. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
