About our coloured bath resurfacing in Horsley Hill
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Horsley Hill and the rest of South Tyneside. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
