Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Edmondsley. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Edmondsley
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Edmondsley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Edmondsley
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
