Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Metal Bridge
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site

What else we do in Metal Bridge
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
