About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkshead
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Hawkshead and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What else we do in Hawkshead
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkshead?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Advice
Common questions in Hawkshead
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkshead?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hawkshead included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Hawkshead
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkshead as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Hawkshead
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
