Need coloured bath resurfacing in Hale?

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hale

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hale

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

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