Coloured bath resurfacing in Knutsford

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Knutsford?

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing in Knutsford, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Knutsford questions

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Knutsford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Knutsford and the rest of Cheshire East. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
