Coloured bath resurfacing for Shopwyke homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shopwyke, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Shopwyke?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shopwyke, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shopwyke as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Shopwyke: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Shopwyke included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What affects the price in Shopwyke

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
