Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Altrincham

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Altrincham

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Altrincham

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Altrincham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Altrincham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Altrincham?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Altrincham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
