When to call us in Backworth
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Backworth
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Backworth. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Backworth
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Backworth
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Backworth?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Backworth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Landlord and trade work in Backworth
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
