Coloured bath resurfacing in Shieldfield without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shieldfield and across Newcastle upon Tyne. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shieldfield
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Shieldfield
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Shieldfield is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
