About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chorlton-by-Backford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Chorlton-by-Backford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover Chorlton-by-Backford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chorlton-by-Backford and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Landlord and trade work in Chorlton-by-Backford
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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