How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in West Timperley
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

West Timperley: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in West Timperley?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including West Timperley. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
