Coloured bath resurfacing in Galgate

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, 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’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Galgate

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Galgate?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What about the toilet?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Galgate?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

What we are called out for in Galgate

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

Customers generally contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Galgate

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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