DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Breightmet: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
