How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Howbeck Bank
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Howbeck Bank
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire East and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Howbeck Bank
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you cover Howbeck Bank?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Howbeck Bank and the rest of Cheshire East. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
