Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Blackhall Mill
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gateshead. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackhall Mill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Blackhall Mill
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Blackhall Mill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Blackhall Mill?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start 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.

Common questions in Blackhall Mill
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you come to Blackhall Mill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Blackhall Mill and the rest of Gateshead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
