Coloured bath resurfacing near Scotswood

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Scotswood: your questions answered

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Scotswood?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE15 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Scotswood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Scotswood, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
