About our coloured bath resurfacing in North Gosforth

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Gosforth

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to compare quotes

Questions from North Gosforth

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Newcastle upon Tyne.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Should you replace it?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
