If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Farnworth
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Farnworth and across Halton. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Farnworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Farnworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Farnworth
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
