Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hoylake
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Hoylake: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Hoylake?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of Wirral?
The entire UK, including all of Wirral. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wirral and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
