How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Moss Bank
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Moss Bank
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Moss Bank: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Moss Bank?
We do. We send a technician to Moss Bank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of St Helens?
The entire UK, including all of St Helens. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Moss Bank?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Should you replace it?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Moss Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
