Coloured bath resurfacing for Stannington homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Stannington without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stannington as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Most customers in Stannington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Stannington, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stannington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

Questions from Stannington

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work in Stannington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stannington and the rest of Northumberland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Common problems we fix in Stannington

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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