Coloured bath resurfacing in Washington without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white 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’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Washington
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Washington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Washington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What else we do in Washington
When to call us in Washington

Common reasons people in Washington contact us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include

- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Washington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Washington
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE38 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
