Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Newton

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Newton, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Newton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

10 questions to ask before booking

Newton questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you cover Newton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Newton?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

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 without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Newton

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Newton. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Newton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
