- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Whitby
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whitby as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Whitby
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Our work in Whitby
Whitby is about 17 miles north-west of Scarborough, in North Yorkshire. Jobs in Whitby are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from photos, and a technician at your door on the day. Whitby is one of 626 places in North Yorkshire where we work. Our jobs stretch from Whitby to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 54 miles away).
Our technicians cover all of YO21 and YO22. We regularly work on streets such as Station Square, Well Close Square and Mount Square. With the A171 and A174 close by, Whitby is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places we cover include Ruswarp (1 mile south-west), Ewe Cote (1 mile west), Newholm (2 miles west), Sneaton (2 miles south) and Briggswath (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Newby (15 miles south-east), Scalby (14 miles south-east), Burniston (13 miles south-east) and Sleights (3 miles south-west). Whitby is one of the larger places we cover in North Yorkshire.
Near you in Whitby
Typical jobs here are in homes near George Hotel, Airy Hill Primary School and Church of St John the Evangelist, among other places. Whitby has its own railway station: Whitby station. Nearby you’ll also find Whitby Hospital (less than half a mile south) and Whitby Castle (within half a mile north-east).
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Whitby: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Whitby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Whitby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What affects the price in Whitby
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
