About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ainthorpe
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Ainthorpe
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Ainthorpe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you cover Ainthorpe?

What areas do you cover?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
