Coloured bath resurfacing in Thickholme, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thickholme and across Cumbria. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Thickholme: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Thickholme?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thickholme from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Thickholme?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA23 postcode.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Thickholme. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thickholme. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repair or replace in Thickholme?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
