About our coloured bath resurfacing in Harrowgate Village
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harrowgate Village use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Darlington and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it 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.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Harrowgate Village. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Harrowgate Village
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Harrowgate Village
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
