How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in West Broughton

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in West Broughton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for West Broughton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Broughton. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When to call us in West Broughton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
