Coloured bath resurfacing in Ugglebarnby without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ugglebarnby as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Ugglebarnby: your questions answered
Can a coloured bath be made white?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we are called out for in Ugglebarnby
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repair or replace in Ugglebarnby?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
