DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bishop Thornton
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Bishop Thornton
For anyone letting property in or around Bishop Thornton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

When to call us in Bishop Thornton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bishop Thornton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
