Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Jesmond

Coloured bath resurfacing in Jesmond without replacing anything
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Jesmond?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE2 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
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
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Jesmond get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Jesmond?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)

What we work on

- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
