How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Preston
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote

- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Advice
Repair or replace in Preston?

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Preston. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
