Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Derker. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Derker, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Derker without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Derker
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you cover the entire of Oldham?
All of Oldham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Derker?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Derker from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
