Coloured suite to white in Howgill, Cumbria
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Howgill and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Howgill without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Howgill questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you cover Howgill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Howgill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Repair or replace in Howgill?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Howgill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Howgill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlord and trade work in Howgill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howgill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Howgill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
