Coloured suite to white in Lemington, Newcastle upon Tyne
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Lemington, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Lemington without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lemington as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Lemington?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Lemington
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lemington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lemington?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
