Coloured bath resurfacing in Dunston without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Dunston
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Dunston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- 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
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Dunston questions
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Dunston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Dunston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Dunston and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Dunston?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
