Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Darwen
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Lower Darwen, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Darwen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
What affects the price in Lower Darwen
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
