Coloured bath resurfacing in Barrow

Barrow questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Barrow?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Barrow without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Barrow?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
