Coloured bath resurfacing in Frodsham

Coloured bath resurfacing in Frodsham without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Frodsham

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Frodsham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Frodsham clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common questions in Frodsham

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

We work UK-wide, so Frodsham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
