When to call us in Bank Hey
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Landlord and trade work in Bank Hey
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bank Hey
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the entire of Blackburn with Darwen?
All of Blackburn with Darwen, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
