Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Burneside

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Burneside without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Burneside

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Burneside?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA9 postcode.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Burneside?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burneside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Burneside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common problems we fix in Burneside

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
