Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hobson
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hobson?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NE16 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hobson and the rest of Gateshead. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hobson, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When to call us in Hobson
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise 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.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hobson. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Hobson get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
