Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Great Orton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Great Orton
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Are there extra charges for Great Orton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Great Orton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Great Orton and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Great Orton?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA5 postcode.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
