Coloured suite to white in Walworth Gate, Darlington
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Walworth Gate, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Walworth Gate without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

- 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.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Walworth Gate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walworth Gate
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
