Common questions in Raughton Head
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We cover the whole UK, including Raughton Head and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Raughton Head, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Raughton Head
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Raughton Head and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
