Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Greenholme
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Greenholme
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Greenholme. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Greenholme
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Greenholme?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Greenholme and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
