Coloured bath resurfacing in Dalton, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

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

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
