Coloured bath resurfacing in Calthwaite without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Calthwaite and across Cumbria. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- Items cracked right through

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Calthwaite: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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 day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it

What affects the price in Calthwaite
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
