Coloured bath resurfacing in Hunger Hill

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hunger Hill

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hunger Hill as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Hunger Hill

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the whole of Wigan?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hunger Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hunger Hill

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

Repairing versus replacing in Hunger Hill

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hunger Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hunger Hill

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
