Need coloured bath resurfacing in Welch Whittle?

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Welch Whittle

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually cheaper.

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

FAQs for Welch Whittle

Is it messy?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

Everywhere in the UK, Welch Whittle included. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What affects the price in Welch Whittle

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any details about the material

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Welch Whittle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

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

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
