Coloured suite to white in Higham, Lancashire
Coloured bath resurfacing across Higham and nearby, normally in one visit.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Higham, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Higham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Should you replace it?

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Higham
If you manage property in Higham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Higham: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Higham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Higham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Higham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
