Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Crosby Garrett homes
We travel to Crosby Garrett for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Crosby Garrett
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crosby Garrett use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Crosby Garrett questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to Crosby Garrett?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Crosby Garrett from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area 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 care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
