Coloured bath resurfacing for Scholes homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Scholes without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Scholes and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scholes as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Scholes

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole suite

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Scholes

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Scholes?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Scholes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

When to call us in Scholes

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A suite that doesn’t 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
