Coloured bath resurfacing for Longton homes

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Longton

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Longton

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Longton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we’re called out for in Longton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Clients typically contact us about:

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

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Longton. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
