Coloured bath resurfacing in Croxteth without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Croxteth

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Croxteth: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work in Croxteth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Croxteth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Common problems we fix in Croxteth

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
