DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cornforth
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Cornforth
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cornforth
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cornforth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit

What we can’t put right
We will 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 will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cornforth
