Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cramlington
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cramlington
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover Cramlington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cramlington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: 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.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
