How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Filey

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Filey, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Filey

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are there extra charges for Filey?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairing versus replacing in Filey

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Filey?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
