Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Highfield. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Highfield
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Highfield and across Gateshead. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Highfield
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Highfield: your questions answered
Do you work in Highfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Highfield and the rest of Gateshead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

When to call us in Highfield
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
For a price in Highfield, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Highfield
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
