Advice
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Manchester
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Manchester
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
