About Clitheroe
Clitheroe is about 8 miles north-west of Burnley, in Lancashire. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Clitheroe is one of 482 places in Lancashire where we work. We work right across the region, from Clitheroe to Manchester (about 28 miles away).
Jobs in BB7 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Station Road, New Market Street and Market Place or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. You’ll find Clitheroe on the A671 and B6243, so it’s easy for us to reach. If you are just outside Clitheroe, we cover West Bradford (2 miles north), Chatburn (2 miles north-east), Wiswell (3 miles south), Downham (3 miles north-east) and Sabden (3 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Preston (14 miles south-west), Burnley (8 miles south-east), Bamber Bridge (15 miles south-west), Accrington (8 miles south), Fulwood (14 miles south-west) and Nelson (8 miles east).
Local landmarks in Clitheroe
Typical jobs here are in homes near Brown Cow Public House, St James' Church of England Primary School and Church of St James, among other places. There is a railway station in Clitheroe itself: Clitheroe station. Well-known places in the area include Clitheroe Community Hospital (1.6 miles north-east) and Clitheroe Castle (less than half a mile north). For a walk, there’s Browsholme Tarn and Salthill Quarry.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Clitheroe without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Clitheroe
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Common questions in Clitheroe
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
