- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Yatts, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Repair or replace in Yatts?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Yatts. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 we are called out for in Yatts

FAQs for Yatts
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Yatts. Prices do not change with location.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Yatts?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Yatts
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yatts as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
