Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Higher Crossings and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Higher Crossings

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Crossings?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Crossings

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace in Higher Crossings?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Higher Crossings clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
