About our coloured bath resurfacing in Heddon-on-the-Wall

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

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.

Heddon-on-the-Wall: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Heddon-on-the-Wall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
