FAQs for Little Lever
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Little Lever?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Lever and the rest of Bolton. Send us pictures for a fixed 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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Little Lever?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bolton.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Little Lever, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Little Lever?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
