About our coloured bath resurfacing in Higher End
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Common questions in Higher End
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

What affects the price in Higher End
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Higher End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
