Landlord and trade work in Dalton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dalton without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Dalton?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Dalton clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Dalton questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Dalton?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA6 postcode.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Dalton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Dalton?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
