Coloured bath resurfacing in Scotby without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Scotby?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

Common problems we fix in Scotby
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Scotby. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Scotby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
