Landlords, agents and businesses in Southwaite
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Southwaite without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Southwaite
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Common problems we fix in Southwaite
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
