Coloured suite to white in Fair Hill, Cumbria
Local coloured bath resurfacing for Fair Hill: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
For a price in Fair Hill, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Fair Hill
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Fair Hill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Fair Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fair Hill
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Fair Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace in Fair Hill?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fair Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
