Coloured bath resurfacing in North Shore

What we’re called out for in North Shore

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

North Shore questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Blackpool, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in North Shore?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for North Shore. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in North Shore, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Repairing versus replacing in North Shore

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our pricing or bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in North Shore

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Shore

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
