FAQs for Murton
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?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you come to Murton?
We do. We send a technician to Murton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

Repair or replace in Murton?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Murton
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
