Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirby Hill without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kirby Hill as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Kirby Hill
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Kirby Hill and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kirby Hill. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When to call us in Kirby Hill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What else we do in Kirby Hill
Repairing versus replacing in Kirby Hill
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
