Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Melsonby

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Melsonby and across North Yorkshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Melsonby?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Common questions in Melsonby

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melsonby

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Melsonby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Melsonby?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
