Coloured bath resurfacing for Preston homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Preston without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Preston

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Preston?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Preston

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What areas do you cover?

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
