Coloured bath resurfacing for Fylingthorpe homes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Fylingthorpe

Coloured bath resurfacing in Fylingthorpe, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Fylingthorpe

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Fylingthorpe

Can you do the toilet too?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Fylingthorpe?

We do. We send a technician to Fylingthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Fylingthorpe?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
