Coloured bath resurfacing in Halliwell

Coloured bath resurfacing in Halliwell without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Halliwell

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Halliwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Common questions in Halliwell

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work in Halliwell?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Halliwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
