Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cumberland?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cumberland
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cumberland. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Common questions in Cumberland
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Cumberland?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cumberland
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cumberland use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repair or replace in Cumberland?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 generally cheaper.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
If you are in Cumberland and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
