Coloured Bath Resurfacing for High Friarside homes
We travel to High Friarside for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What affects the price in High Friarside
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in High Friarside
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in High Friarside
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in High Friarside?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to High Friarside. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including High Friarside and the rest of Gateshead. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
