Coloured bath resurfacing in High Risby, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

High Risby questions

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for High Risby?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you come to High Risby?

We do. We send a technician to High Risby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in High Risby

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
