Coloured bath resurfacing in Aspatria without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Aspatria as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aspatria use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, 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)

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Aspatria. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Aspatria questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
