Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Saltby
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Saltby
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Saltby. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Saltby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Saltby
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltby
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Saltby questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Saltby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
