Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Escrick

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Escrick

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace in Escrick?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Escrick

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole suite

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Escrick

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of York?

Everywhere in the UK, Escrick included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Advice

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Escrick

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

Common problems we fix in Escrick

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
