About our coloured bath resurfacing in Platt Bridge

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Platt Bridge?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

How it works

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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Platt Bridge. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Platt Bridge, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Platt Bridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Platt Bridge

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

What your quote should include

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

Questions from Platt Bridge

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Platt Bridge?

We do. We send a technician to Platt Bridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
