About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sollom
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sollom and across Lancashire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Sollom questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Sollom?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sollom. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sollom
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sollom, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Sollom
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
