Coloured bath resurfacing for Moss Side homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Moss Side

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Moss Side and across Lancashire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Moss Side

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Common reasons people in Moss Side contact us are:

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

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Moss Side. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Moss Side, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

FAQs for Moss Side

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
