Coloured suite to white in Chatterton, Bury
We travel to Chatterton for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chatterton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Chatterton
For anyone letting property in or around Chatterton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Chatterton
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
