How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Grindon without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Grindon and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Grindon
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Grindon. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Grindon
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sunderland.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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 can work around your bookings.
