What affects the price in Dringhouses
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO24 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dringhouses
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Dringhouses
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dringhouses. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
