How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Leeholme
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Leeholme
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Leeholme: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Leeholme
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
