Coloured bath resurfacing in Barmston, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have 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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Barmston questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NE38 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What else we do in Barmston
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
