Coloured bath resurfacing in Middlethorpe, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Middlethorpe and across York. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Middlethorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middlethorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Middlethorpe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Middlethorpe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you work in Middlethorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Middlethorpe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
