Repairing versus replacing in Burnden
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Burnden
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burnden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Burnden
Do you come to Burnden?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Burnden for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Burnden and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
