Repair or replace in Tealby?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tealby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tealby without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tealby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Tealby. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Tealby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Tealby
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- 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
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Tealby
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
