How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Stranton
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stranton and across Hartlepool. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Stranton
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stranton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
