Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Whinney Banks

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Whinney Banks

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Whinney Banks

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whinney Banks

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
