Repairing versus replacing in Rickerby
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rickerby
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Rickerby
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
What affects the price in Rickerby
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rickerby
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Rickerby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
