Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Burnedge

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Burnedge

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rochdale. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we are called out for in Burnedge

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Burnedge

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Burnedge

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do you come to Burnedge?

We do. We send a technician to Burnedge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
