How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Benwell
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Benwell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
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)

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Benwell
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benwell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
