Coloured bath resurfacing in Goodshaw without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Goodshaw and across Lancashire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Goodshaw?

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Goodshaw

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Goodshaw

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Goodshaw?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
