Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gilmonby
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Gilmonby
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Gilmonby?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Gilmonby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gilmonby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Gilmonby
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
