- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Stanhope, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Stanhope
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Stanhope: your questions answered
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Stanhope.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL13 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What affects the price in Stanhope
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stanhope. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanhope
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
