Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Rufforth
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Rufforth included. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you come to Rufforth?
We do. We send a technician to Rufforth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Rufforth, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rufforth as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Rufforth
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. 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, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
