Coloured bath resurfacing in Bradshaw

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bradshaw

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bradshaw

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Bradshaw, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Bradshaw questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Bolton?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
