FAQs for Meltonby
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meltonby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Meltonby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Meltonby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
