Coloured bath resurfacing for Blackbrook homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Blackbrook

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Blackbrook questions

When can you do it?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across St Helens.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Blackbrook?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Blackbrook and the rest of St Helens. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Blackbrook. Prices do not change with location.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Blackbrook?

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

What affects the price in Blackbrook

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

The price 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
