Coloured suite to white in Torver, Cumbria

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Torver
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torver use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Torver. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Torver
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- 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 to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit

Torver questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Torver?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
