About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hungate
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Hungate
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the whole of York?
We cover the whole UK, including Hungate and the rest of York. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Hungate
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the whole UK
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
