Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cartmel
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Cartmel: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Cartmel
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Most jobs done in one visit
