About our coloured bath resurfacing in Denton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Denton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
All of Darlington, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Should you replace it?
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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 will not last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Denton. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Denton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. 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.
