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 is not 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.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in North Shields
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Tyneside. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in North Shields

Common problems we fix in North Shields
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
Repairing versus replacing in North Shields
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE29 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
North Shields: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so North Shields is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
