Coloured bath resurfacing in Haswell Plough, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Haswell Plough
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Haswell Plough?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Haswell Plough
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What we do, step by step

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
