What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Chinley without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chinley as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chinley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chinley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Chinley

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

Questions from Chinley

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When to call us in Chinley

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Chinley?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing or bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Chinley. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
