Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirby Wiske, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common problems we fix in Kirby Wiske

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common questions in Kirby Wiske

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Kirby Wiske?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Kirby Wiske?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kirby Wiske. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
