Coloured bath resurfacing for Unsworth homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Unsworth without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Unsworth questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Bury?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Unsworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Unsworth

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Unsworth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
