About our coloured bath resurfacing in Great Corby
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire suite
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)

Questions from Great Corby
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
