How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Preston
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Preston
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Repair or replace in Preston?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Preston. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Preston, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Preston?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Common reasons people in Preston contact us are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
