Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Ferrybridge homes
Local coloured bath resurfacing for Ferrybridge: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ferrybridge
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ferrybridge. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Ferrybridge
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Ferrybridge questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ferrybridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
