About our coloured bath resurfacing in Brunstock

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Brunstock and across Cumbria. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Brunstock

Do you work in Brunstock?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brunstock. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Common problems we fix in Brunstock

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Brunstock

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

What affects the price in Brunstock

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brunstock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Brunstock, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Brunstock

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Brunstock clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
