- 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 you book.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Whickham
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whickham. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Whickham
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE16 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What else we do in Whickham
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
