DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tanfield Lea
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Tanfield Lea: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

- The surface is prepared and primed.

Advice
What we are called out for in Tanfield Lea
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
