- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Heworth 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. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Heworth. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Heworth
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Heworth?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
