How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bootle
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bootle as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Bootle
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
