Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Hopwood

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Hopwood

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hopwood without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hopwood. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Hopwood

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the whole of Rochdale?

Everywhere in the UK, Hopwood included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

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

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hopwood

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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 day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For anyone letting property in or around Hopwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Hopwood?
