Questions from Howbeck
Do you come to Howbeck?
We do. We send a technician to Howbeck for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Howbeck, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Howbeck
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Howbeck. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Howbeck get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howbeck use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Howbeck. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
