Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Knob's Crook
We travel to Knob's Crook for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Coloured bath resurfacing in Knob's Crook, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Knob's Crook
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Knob's Crook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Knob's Crook
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Common reasons people in Knob's Crook contact us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Knob's Crook
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
