Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Irwell Vale
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Irwell Vale: your questions answered
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for Irwell Vale?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 generally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Irwell Vale
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Irwell Vale
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Irwell Vale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we’d advise against a repair
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)

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
