Coloured bath resurfacing in Grotton

Repairing versus replacing in Grotton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Grotton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Grotton: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Oldham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oldham.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

When to call us in Grotton

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

Look out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Grotton

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
