Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Kirkstall homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Kirkstall, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkstall without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

About Kirkstall
Kirkstall is about 2 miles west of Leeds, in Leeds. We visit homes and businesses in Kirkstall and the surrounding area, so nothing has to leave your home. Kirkstall is one of 198 towns and villages in Leeds where we work.
Jobs in LS5, LS13 and LS4 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Local streets include Vesper Lane, Bridge Road and Morris Lane. Kirkstall is on the A65, so it’s easy for us to reach. Nearby, we also work in Wyther (1 mile south), Hawksworth (1 mile north), Bramley (1 mile west), Moor Grange (1 mile north) and Newlay (2 miles north-west).

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Kirkstall questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Kirkstall?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kirkstall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kirkstall. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What affects the price in Kirkstall
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire suite
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LS5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Kirkstall
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair can’t fix
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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Kirkstall

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
