About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hoswick
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Hoswick
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hoswick?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Common problems we fix in Hoswick
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
Repairing versus replacing in Hoswick
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
