Coloured bath resurfacing near Hyde

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hyde, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Common questions in Hyde

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hyde?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hyde. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hyde. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

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