Coloured bath resurfacing in Accrington without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Accrington, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Accrington
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Accrington: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
We cover the entire UK, including Accrington and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When to call us in Accrington
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
