Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chester Moor

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Chester Moor

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Chester Moor clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Questions from Chester Moor

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Chester Moor?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Chester Moor

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
