About our coloured bath resurfacing in Howick Cross
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
What affects the price in Howick Cross
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Questions from Howick Cross
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work in Howick Cross?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Howick Cross and the rest of Lancashire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Howick Cross
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
