How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pickup Bank
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Pickup Bank
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Blackburn with Darwen?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
