When a repair is not the answer

- 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 booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Coloured bath resurfacing in Portinscale without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Portinscale questions
Do you cover Portinscale?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Portinscale and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
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 the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portinscale as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Portinscale, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
