Coloured bath resurfacing in Netherby without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Netherby questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Netherby and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
