What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in St Helens
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in St Helens and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

St Helens: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to St Helens?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Helens from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What else we do in St Helens
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Helens use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in St Helens, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
