Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Urpeth homes
We travel to Urpeth for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Urpeth
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Urpeth
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Repairing versus replacing in Urpeth
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Urpeth
What affects the price in Urpeth
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Urpeth questions
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Urpeth included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Urpeth?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Urpeth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
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 one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
