Coloured bath resurfacing near Sledmere

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sledmere without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Sledmere

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sledmere. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 you book.

What we work on

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

Sledmere questions

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Riding of Yorkshire.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
