Coloured bath resurfacing in Tursdale, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Tursdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tursdale as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Tursdale clients choose us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs

Tursdale: your questions answered
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Tursdale included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Common problems we fix in Tursdale
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- 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 to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
