Questions from Orrell
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Orrell without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Orrell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What affects the price in Orrell
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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 over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in Orrell
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- 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
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
