How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Wheelton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
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. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Wheelton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wheelton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wheelton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Wheelton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Wheelton
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Wheelton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wheelton and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
