How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Egremont
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Egremont, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Egremont
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CH45 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
