Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Castle Eden and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TS27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Repairing versus replacing in Castle Eden
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items 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.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Castle Eden: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Castle Eden?
We do. We send a technician to Castle Eden for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Castle Eden?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
