Coloured suite to white in Ravenstonedale, Cumbria

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ravenstonedale
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Ravenstonedale?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ravenstonedale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
