Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Sleights

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sleights without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sleights and across North Yorkshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Sleights

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Sleights and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Sleights questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Sleights?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sleights and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
