Coloured bath resurfacing in Aislaby

Common questions in Aislaby

Do you come to Aislaby?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Aislaby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Aislaby

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Aislaby, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
