Coloured bath resurfacing for Crosslet homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Crosslet

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Crosslet

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book
