Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Shield Row homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Shield Row, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shield Row
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Shield Row
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shield Row
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Shield Row?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shield Row for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Shield Row?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Repair or replace in Shield Row?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole suite
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
