Coloured bath resurfacing for Youlthorpe homes

Common problems we fix in Youlthorpe

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Youlthorpe

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Youlthorpe

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Youlthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Youlthorpe

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Youlthorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Youlthorpe

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Youlthorpe

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Youlthorpe

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What about the toilet?

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

Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?

The entire UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
