Coloured bath resurfacing in Consett without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Consett
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Consett
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work in Consett?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Consett from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Consett. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Other services in Consett
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Consett. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
