Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Ouston
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
We cover the entire UK, including Ouston and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Ouston
If you manage property in Ouston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
