Coloured bath resurfacing in Fallowfield without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fallowfield

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. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Fallowfield customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Our hiring checklist

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What affects the price in Fallowfield

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Fallowfield

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover the entire of Greater Manchester?

We cover the entire UK, including Fallowfield and the rest of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Fallowfield?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll say what we think.
