How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Akebar
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Akebar
If you manage property in Akebar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Akebar. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Akebar clients choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business

- Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire suite
Most clients in Akebar get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Akebar
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Akebar.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Akebar and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
