About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gregson Lane

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gregson Lane, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

When to call us in Gregson Lane

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Gregson Lane

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Gregson Lane

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you come to Gregson Lane?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gregson Lane and the rest of Lancashire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
