Coloured bath resurfacing in Allerton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Peace of mind is built in: 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’re called out for in Allerton

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Allerton

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Allerton. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Allerton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allerton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Allerton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Allerton: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
