Coloured Bath Resurfacing in West Harton
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in West Harton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in West Harton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to West Harton. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in West Harton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

West Harton: your questions answered
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Tyneside.
What a repair cannot fix
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 before booking.
