We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ruston and across North Yorkshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Ruston

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ruston?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Ruston customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ruston

If you manage property in Ruston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
