Coloured bath resurfacing in Horkstow without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you have faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Older homes around Horkstow may have baths that have been in place for decades. If the bath is sound, coloured bath resurfacing gives it a new lease of life without disturbing the rest of the room.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Horkstow

Horkstow: your questions answered
Will you travel to Horkstow?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you fix coloured suites in a rental near Barton-On-Humber station?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. In a village or hamlet like Horkstow, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Horkstow
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Horkstow
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
For older houses around Horkstow, near landmarks such as Church of Saint Maurice, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

What affects the price in Horkstow
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Horkstow. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Horkstow, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. For a rural home like those around Horkstow, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.
Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Horkstow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
