About coloured bath resurfacing in County Durham
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
What you will pay
Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- One price list for the entire UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Around Durham
We visit homes around The Traveller's Rest Public House, St Leonard's Catholic School and Old Durham Gardens and the streets around them. Also close by are Durham Sixth Form Centre (less than half a mile south), United Reformed Church (within half a mile south), Durham University Library and Collections (1 mile south) and St Margaret's Church of England Primary School (0.9 miles south-west). There’s a railway station in Durham itself: Durham station. A little further out are Durham Museum (0.6 miles south) and Broom (1.9 miles west).
When a repair isn’t 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)
What affects the price in County Durham
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for County Durham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in County Durham
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out.
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
Questions from County Durham
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to County Durham?
We do. Technicians travel to County Durham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
