Coloured bath resurfacing in Oldham, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oldham. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Oldham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Oldham: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Oldham?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Oldham?
We do. We send a technician to Oldham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
