Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Troutbeck Bridge
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Troutbeck Bridge
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Troutbeck Bridge questions
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Troutbeck Bridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Troutbeck Bridge. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
