About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hamsterley
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Hamsterley
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Hamsterley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hamsterley and the rest of Gateshead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hamsterley?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Hamsterley
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hamsterley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
