Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Culverhouse Cross

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

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

FAQs for Culverhouse Cross

Are there extra charges for Culverhouse Cross?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Culverhouse Cross?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Culverhouse Cross

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Culverhouse Cross. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
