Coloured bath resurfacing in Crown

Coloured bath resurfacing in Crown, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Crown

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Crown?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why Crown clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Crown questions

Do you work in Crown?

We do. We send a technician to Crown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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