Need coloured bath resurfacing in Pemberton?

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pemberton

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Pemberton questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Pemberton

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
