Coloured bath resurfacing in Askham Richard without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Askham Richard
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your YO23 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Repair or replace in Askham Richard?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
