About our coloured bath resurfacing in Swillbrook

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Swillbrook

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swillbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Swillbrook customers choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Swillbrook

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Swillbrook, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swillbrook as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Swillbrook: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you come to Swillbrook?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swillbrook and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
