Coloured bath resurfacing in Sunderland, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Sunderland

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Sunderland?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Sunderland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sunderland. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sunderland

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
