Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pelton Fell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pelton Fell
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Pelton Fell questions
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Across the UK, so Pelton Fell is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pelton Fell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
