Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Castlefield
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Castlefield
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Castlefield?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover Castlefield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Castlefield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repair or replace in Castlefield?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Castlefield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
