Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Castle Dene
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Castle Dene
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castle Dene use us 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 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, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Castle Dene
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Castle Dene and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
