About our coloured bath resurfacing in Brackenlands
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brackenlands as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Brackenlands

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brackenlands. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Brackenlands
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again

Brackenlands questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
