Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Seaton
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Seaton
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Seaton. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Seaton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
