The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Crawcrook
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything

FAQs for Crawcrook
Do you come to Crawcrook?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Crawcrook from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Crawcrook. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE40 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
