How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Melkinthorpe
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Melkinthorpe. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Melkinthorpe
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Melkinthorpe clients choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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.

Questions from Melkinthorpe
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Melkinthorpe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
