When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Follingsby, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Follingsby
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Gateshead. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gateshead and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Follingsby
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
