About our coloured bath resurfacing in Selby

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Selby?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Selby?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Selby

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Selby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
