About our coloured bath resurfacing in Newburn
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Newburn questions
Do you cover the entire of Newcastle upon Tyne?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Newburn. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Newburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Newburn
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newburn?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
