Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lydiate
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sefton. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Lydiate: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Lydiate?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lydiate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What we’re called out for in Lydiate
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- 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
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lydiate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydiate
For anyone letting property in or around Lydiate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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 day after, the suite is ready.
