Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Bongate homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Bongate, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bongate
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Bongate
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Questions from Bongate
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bongate
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
