Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Rake
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Rake
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Rake?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HX7 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Rake?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rake and the rest of Calderdale. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What affects the price in Rake
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Rake. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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 pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rake
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
