Coloured bath resurfacing near Balderstone

Coloured bath resurfacing in Balderstone without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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

Landlord and trade work in Balderstone

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Balderstone

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

  • 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

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Balderstone. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Balderstone, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

What we can’t put right

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Balderstone

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Are there extra charges for Balderstone?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
