Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Alkrington?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- 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’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Alkrington
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Alkrington?

What areas do you cover?
All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Alkrington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Alkrington and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repairing versus replacing in Alkrington
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Alkrington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
