How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Rockcliffe, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rockcliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Landlord and trade work in Rockcliffe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
