How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bowgreave
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
For a price in Bowgreave, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bowgreave questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bowgreave
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
