Coloured suite to white in Thorganby, York
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Thorganby and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorganby without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thorganby as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Questions from Thorganby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thorganby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorganby
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
