Need coloured bath resurfacing in Gillar's Green?

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gillar's Green

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in St Helens. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Gillar's Green

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

When to call us in Gillar's Green

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
