What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When to call us in Birtley
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Birtley
Letting agents frequently 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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Birtley
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
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 with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Birtley customers choose us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One price list for the entire UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
