Work for landlords and builders

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Milnrow

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Milnrow as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Milnrow

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

When to call us in Milnrow

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.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
