About our coloured bath resurfacing in East Harlsey
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in East Harlsey
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Harlsey use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Repair or replace in East Harlsey?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

East Harlsey: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, East Harlsey included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover East Harlsey?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Harlsey and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 will tell you honestly.

If you’re in East Harlsey and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
