Coloured bath resurfacing near Low Hesket

Repair or replace in Low Hesket?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Low Hesket

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Low Hesket and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Low Hesket

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Low Hesket get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Low Hesket

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

Across the UK, and that includes Low Hesket. Prices don’t change with location.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
