Coloured bath resurfacing in Barnard Castle, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Barnard Castle
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Barnard Castle questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
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 areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Barnard Castle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Repairing versus replacing in Barnard Castle
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Barnard Castle
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Landlord and trade work in Barnard Castle
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Barnard Castle. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Barnard Castle, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
