- Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Great Cowden
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Great Cowden
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Great Cowden?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Great Cowden and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Great Cowden
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HU11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
