Repair or replace in Swalwell?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Swalwell without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Swalwell
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Swalwell questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Swalwell and the rest of Gateshead. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work in Swalwell?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Swalwell. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
