About our coloured bath resurfacing in Greenside
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Greenside
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenside as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from Greenside
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
