Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Burnhope
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Burnhope: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burnhope as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Burnhope without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the whole UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Common questions in Burnhope
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Burnhope?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What we cannot put right
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.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
