Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Rakewood
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Rakewood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rakewood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Rakewood
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Rakewood?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OL15 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you work in Rakewood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rakewood and the rest of Rochdale. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
