FAQs for Newton Tracey
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Newton Tracey without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Newton Tracey. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When to call us in Newton Tracey
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
