Coloured bath resurfacing in Dunnockshaw

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dunnockshaw without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunnockshaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Dunnockshaw

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

Across the UK, so Dunnockshaw is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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

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

Repairing versus replacing in Dunnockshaw

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, 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.

What we’re called out for in Dunnockshaw

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Common reasons people in Dunnockshaw contact us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
