Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Hoddlesden homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hoddlesden
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
