Repair or replace in Thirlby?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thirlby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Thirlby. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
