What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Water

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Water, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Water: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Water?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BB4 postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

When can you do it?

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

When to call us in Water

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Water. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BB4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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