Coloured bath resurfacing for High Crompton homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in High Crompton without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in High Crompton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

High Crompton questions

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repair or replace in High Crompton?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for High Crompton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in High Crompton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in High Crompton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
