Coloured bath resurfacing in Beswick without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare

Questions from Beswick
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Beswick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What affects the price in Beswick
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
