Coloured bath resurfacing for Swinton homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Swinton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Swinton customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
