Coloured bath resurfacing for Earby homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Earby

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Earby and across Lancashire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Earby?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Earby

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Earby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Earby questions

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you come to Earby?

We do. We send a technician to Earby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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 without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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