Coloured bath resurfacing near Over Hulton

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Over Hulton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Over Hulton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Over Hulton

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Over Hulton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Over Hulton and the rest of Bolton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we are called out for in Over Hulton

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.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Over Hulton

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Over Hulton. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 often lifts.
