Coloured bath resurfacing in Willington Quay without replacing anything
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Willington Quay
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Willington Quay. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Willington Quay get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
