How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Eighton Banks
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Eighton Banks
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Eighton Banks
Do you work in Eighton Banks?
We do. We send a technician to Eighton Banks for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Are there extra charges for Eighton Banks?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Eighton Banks?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Eighton Banks
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
