Coloured suite to white in Brougham, Cumbria
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Brougham and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Brougham, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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)

Repair or replace in Brougham?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Brougham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Common questions in Brougham
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Brougham?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Brougham?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
