Coloured bath resurfacing in Exelby without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Exelby
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Exelby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Exelby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Exelby?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Exelby. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole suite
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What we can’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Exelby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Exelby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
