About our coloured bath resurfacing in Blacko

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Blacko and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Blacko

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Blacko clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit 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 a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, 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. 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 earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Blacko

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Blacko. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Blacko get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Blacko

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Blacko and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it messy?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
