About our coloured bath resurfacing in Crompton
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crompton and across Oldham. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Crompton
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the entire of Oldham?
All of Oldham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crompton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in Crompton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Crompton. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
