How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shiptonthorpe
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

When to call us in Shiptonthorpe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
