Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Harrogate
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Harrogate, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harrogate
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 whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, 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 North Yorkshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harrogate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Harrogate?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Harrogate, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Harrogate?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Harrogate. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Harrogate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
