Coloured bath resurfacing for Ennerdale Bridge homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ennerdale Bridge, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Ennerdale Bridge

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ennerdale Bridge

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ennerdale Bridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ennerdale Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Ennerdale Bridge questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ennerdale Bridge. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

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 often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
