About our coloured bath resurfacing in Little Barugh

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Little Barugh

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in Little Barugh

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Barugh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Little Barugh customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Barugh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

Common questions in Little Barugh

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
