About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dawdon
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. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Dawdon, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Dawdon
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Dawdon included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would 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.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
