How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Irlam
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Irlam
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Irlam?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
