How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Slaidburn

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 whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, 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.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for 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, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

FAQs for Slaidburn

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Slaidburn?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Slaidburn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Slaidburn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Slaidburn customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
