DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re 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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Keekle without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Keekle
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Keekle
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
