Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hessle
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hessle
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
We cover the whole UK, including Hessle and the rest of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hessle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Hessle and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
