Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When to call us in Mellor
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

What affects the price in Mellor
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Mellor. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SK6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Mellor questions
Do you cover the entire of Stockport?
We cover the entire UK, including Mellor and the rest of Stockport. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
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 once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you work in Mellor?
We do. We send a technician to Mellor for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
