How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in West Tanfield

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, 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 come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

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 we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 basins
  • Coloured shower trays

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to West Tanfield. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for West Tanfield

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you work in West Tanfield?

We do. Repair technicians travel to West Tanfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlord and trade work in West Tanfield

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Tanfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in West Tanfield

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
