How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tynemouth

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Tynemouth

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Tynemouth customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common problems we fix in Tynemouth

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • 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

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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 photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Tynemouth: your questions answered

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Tynemouth?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Landlord and trade work in Tynemouth

If you manage property in Tynemouth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
