Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Throxenby

What affects the price in Throxenby

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Throxenby

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Throxenby

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Throxenby questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Are there extra charges for Throxenby?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Throxenby?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Throxenby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
