Coloured bath resurfacing in Northowram, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often 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, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Northowram
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HX3 postcode.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What else we do in Northowram
Landlord and trade work in Northowram
If you manage property in Northowram, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Northowram. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Most customers in Northowram get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Northowram?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When to call us in Northowram
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
