Coloured bath resurfacing for Tarlscough homes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tarlscough

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
