Coloured bath resurfacing in Bakewell without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bakewell
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bakewell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bakewell. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Repairing versus replacing in Bakewell
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE45 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
