Coloured Bath Resurfacing for High Etherley homes
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in High Etherley and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
About our coloured bath resurfacing in High Etherley
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in High Etherley
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for High Etherley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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)

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for High Etherley. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size

How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
