Coloured bath resurfacing in Hawton, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
For a rural address like Hawton, we plan the journey and the visit in advance. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Hawton: your questions answered
My house in Hawton is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Will you travel to Hawton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Hawton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hawton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there. Somewhere as small as Hawton, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hawton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hawton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Hawton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Hawton
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. For a rural home like those around Hawton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.
Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
