Coloured bath resurfacing in Strines, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Strines and across Stockport. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Strines

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Stockport?

Everywhere in the UK, Strines included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Strines

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Strines customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
