Coloured bath resurfacing near Bolton Woods

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bolton Woods, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bolton Woods questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bolton Woods?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
