When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Skelton on Ure without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Skelton on Ure

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HG4 postcode.

What areas do you cover?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Skelton on Ure. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
