Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Most clients in Great Urswick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Great Urswick questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Great Urswick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LA12 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Great Urswick?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
