Need coloured bath resurfacing in West Scrafton?

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in West Scrafton

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in West Scrafton without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in West Scrafton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to West Scrafton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • 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 price the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in West Scrafton

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Scrafton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in West Scrafton?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from West Scrafton

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
