Coloured bath resurfacing in Flaxby

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Flaxby

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Flaxby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Flaxby

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Flaxby

What about the toilet?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Flaxby?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Flaxby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Flaxby

For anyone letting property in or around Flaxby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flaxby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
