About our coloured bath resurfacing in Walby
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Walby
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Walby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Walby
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are

Landlord and trade work in Walby
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Walby questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Walby and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
