Our technicians come to Bretherton for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bretherton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bretherton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Bretherton
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
