Coloured bath resurfacing in Grindale without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Somewhere as small as Grindale, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Grindale questions
Will you travel to Grindale?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
I let a flat near Bempton station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. We repair coloured suites between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?
All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Grindale
If you manage property in Grindale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Grindale?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Nicholas, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. In an older home in a village like Grindale, replacing a suite can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £350. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
