Repair or replace in Redburn?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Redburn
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Redburn. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE47 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
