How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bootham
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bootham and across York. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO30 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: 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 photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs

FAQs for Bootham
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your YO30 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
