The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What affects the price in New Hunwick

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in New Hunwick and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

FAQs for New Hunwick

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work in New Hunwick?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Hunwick and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
