Coloured bath resurfacing in Ackenthwaite without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ackenthwaite. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price.
