  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

Our hiring checklist

Coloured bath resurfacing in Goathland, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Goathland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Goathland

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

FAQs for Goathland

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Goathland?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
