Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Little Harwood
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Little Harwood and across Blackburn with Darwen. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Harwood. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Little Harwood: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover Little Harwood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Little Harwood. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Little Harwood?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
