What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Mark Cross

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

For a rural address like Mark Cross, we plan the journey and the visit in advance. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we will take care of the rest.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mark Cross

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A suite that doesn’t 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

In the older streets of Mark Cross, around landmarks like St Marks, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and coloured bath resurfacing gives it years more use.

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. For a rural address like Mark Cross, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the coloured bath resurfacing, so there’s no second trip.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

FAQs for Mark Cross

Will you travel to Mark Cross?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Mark Cross?

Often, yes: original pieces are normally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

What information do you need?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you come to Mark Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mark Cross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace in Mark Cross?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Older homes around Mark Cross may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlord and trade work in Mark Cross

For anyone letting property in or around Mark Cross, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
