Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When to call us in Bowness-on-Windermere

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Bowness-on-Windermere

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
