Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Etherley Dene
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Etherley Dene and across County Durham. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Etherley Dene
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
