About our coloured bath resurfacing in Darwen
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Darwen. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blackburn with Darwen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Darwen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Darwen
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
