About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wreay
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wreay as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

FAQs for Wreay
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Across the UK, and that includes Wreay. Prices don’t change with location.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
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 happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Wreay?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wreay and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
