Repair or replace in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Newcastle upon Tyne, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Newcastle upon Tyne

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

What affects the price in Newcastle upon Tyne

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newcastle upon Tyne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.
