What affects the price in Middleton-in-Teesdale

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Middleton-in-Teesdale questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Middleton-in-Teesdale?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
