Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Oswaldtwistle
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Oswaldtwistle, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Oswaldtwistle
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
