Coloured bath resurfacing for Eccles homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Eccles

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, 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 book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Eccles?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Eccles

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

FAQs for Eccles

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Eccles?

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

What affects the price in Eccles

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
