Questions from Wrenthorpe
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Wrenthorpe?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WF2 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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 there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Wrenthorpe
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wrenthorpe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Wrenthorpe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Repair or replace in Wrenthorpe?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wrenthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
