How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tanfield
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Tanfield questions
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Tanfield?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Tanfield?
We do. Technicians travel to Tanfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Tanfield and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Tanfield
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tanfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
