How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Whelley
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whelley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Whelley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Whelley
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.
Customers normally contact us about:
- 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
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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)

Questions from Whelley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the entire of Wigan?
The whole UK, including all of Wigan. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
