Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Scawby

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Scawby

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scawby and across North Lincolnshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Scawby

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Scawby

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace in Scawby?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Scawby: your questions answered

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

All of North Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
