Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Howgill
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. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Howgill questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Howgill
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
