Coloured bath resurfacing in Evenwood Gate

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Evenwood Gate

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

Repairing versus replacing in Evenwood Gate

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Common questions in Evenwood Gate

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Evenwood Gate?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
