Coloured bath resurfacing in Ambleside without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ambleside
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ambleside.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Ambleside?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ambleside and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Ambleside, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
