Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Swainby
We travel to Swainby for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Swainby without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Rural addresses like Swainby just need a little planning. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we’ll take care of the rest.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. For a rural address like Swainby, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the coloured bath resurfacing comes with us in one trip.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Swainby
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Swainby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Swainby
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
In the older streets of Swainby, around landmarks like Church of Holy Cross, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Replacement in Swainby means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Read our Prices page Or Resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
