How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Heighington
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins 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: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When to call us in Heighington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Heighington: your questions answered
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Heighington?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL5 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heighington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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)
