About our coloured bath resurfacing in Crownhill
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Crownhill
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Crownhill?
We do. We send a technician to Crownhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What we’re called out for in Crownhill

- Faded or patchy colour

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
