Coloured bath resurfacing in Kettleshulme, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Kettleshulme?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Kettleshulme
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
