How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Habton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Habton and across North Yorkshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Great Habton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Great Habton

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we’re called out for in Great Habton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Great Habton

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
