How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Craigside
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Craigside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Craigside
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover Craigside?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Craigside and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Where we work around Craigside

We work in all 329 towns and villages across County Durham, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Craigside to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 20 miles away).
All of DL15 and DL13 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Nearby, we also work in Thornley (1 mile north-west), Tow Law (2 miles north), Inkerman (3 miles north), Wolsingham (3 miles west) and Satley (5 miles north).

Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Craigside?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
