Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Newbiggin-on-Lune. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newbiggin-on-Lune

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
