How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbiggin
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Newbiggin
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Newbiggin
Are there extra charges for Newbiggin?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Newbiggin. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
