About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gawthwaite
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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 before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Gawthwaite, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Gawthwaite questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Gawthwaite?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gawthwaite. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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 won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
