Coloured bath resurfacing in Abbey Hulton, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Abbey Hulton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Abbey Hulton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Abbey Hulton

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST2 postcode.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Abbey Hulton. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abbey Hulton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Abbey Hulton

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
