Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sunderland Bridge

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Sunderland Bridge: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover Sunderland Bridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sunderland Bridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Sunderland Bridge?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sunderland Bridge

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Sunderland Bridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Sunderland Bridge

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Sunderland Bridge?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
