About our coloured bath resurfacing in Haltwhistle
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What else we do in Haltwhistle
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Haltwhistle get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Haltwhistle
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Haltwhistle customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
