Coloured bath resurfacing in Stretford, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stretford and across Trafford. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Stretford
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Stretford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stretford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Landlord and trade work in Stretford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your M32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Stretford
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What affects the price in Stretford
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
