Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Broughton

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Broughton?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your M7 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Broughton

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Broughton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Broughton?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
