- 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.

- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hylton Red House
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix 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, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Hylton Red House
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hylton Red House. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Hylton Red House
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Hylton Red House
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
