Coloured bath resurfacing in Tantobie, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Tantobie
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When to call us in Tantobie
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Tantobie
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
