DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hackthorpe, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix 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, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hackthorpe questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are there extra charges for Hackthorpe?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
