Coloured suite to white in Hooker Gate, Gateshead
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white for homes and businesses in Hooker Gate and across Gateshead. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Hooker Gate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hooker Gate without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Hooker Gate
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
