Coloured suite to white in Sandwith, Cumbria
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Sandwith: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sandwith
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
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 will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Sandwith
- Coloured basins

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
