Coloured bath resurfacing for Sparrowpit homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sparrowpit without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sparrowpit. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Sparrowpit

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sparrowpit. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Sparrowpit questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Sparrowpit?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Sparrowpit. Prices do not change with location.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
