Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Ornsby Hill: your questions answered
Do you come to Ornsby Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ornsby Hill and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Ornsby Hill
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
