About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ormathwaite

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Ormathwaite questions

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you come to Ormathwaite?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ormathwaite and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are there extra charges for Ormathwaite?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ormathwaite. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ormathwaite

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
