Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gatesheath
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Gatesheath
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Gatesheath get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Gatesheath: your questions answered
Do you cover Gatesheath?
We do. We send a technician to Gatesheath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
