How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Abraham Heights
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Abraham Heights, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Abraham Heights. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Abraham Heights
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Abraham Heights questions
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Abraham Heights?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LA1 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
We cover the entire UK, including Abraham Heights and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
