Coloured bath resurfacing in Matshead, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Matshead, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Matshead

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Matshead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Matshead

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When to call us in Matshead

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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