About our coloured bath resurfacing in East Hardwick
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Hardwick and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in East Hardwick
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are there extra charges for East Hardwick?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
