Coloured suite to white in Bradley Fold, Bolton

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bradley Fold without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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 pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Bradley Fold
What we are called out for in Bradley Fold
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Bradley Fold
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bradley Fold, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Bradley Fold questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you cover Bradley Fold?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bradley Fold and the rest of Bolton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
