Coloured bath resurfacing in Blackburn without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Blackburn
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Blackburn
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Blackburn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackburn
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackburn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Common questions in Blackburn
Do you cover Blackburn?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Blackburn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
