Repair or replace in Kirkby Stephen?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkby Stephen use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays

- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Common questions in Kirkby Stephen
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will it make a mess?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Can you repair several things at once?
