Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Skitby
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Skitby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Skitby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Skitby, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Skitby
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Skitby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Skitby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Skitby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Repairing versus replacing in Skitby
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
