Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Preston

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Preston

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Preston?

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Preston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 you book.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
