10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Edmundbyers. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Edmundbyers

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
