About our coloured bath resurfacing in Great Ouseburn
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Ouseburn
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Ouseburn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Ouseburn
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Ouseburn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Great Ouseburn, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
