Coloured bath resurfacing in Paradise

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Paradise, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Paradise. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Paradise. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Paradise

What about the toilet?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Paradise?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Paradise

If you manage property in Paradise, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
