About our coloured bath resurfacing in Peterlee
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Peterlee: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Peterlee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Peterlee?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you cover Peterlee?
We do. We send a technician to Peterlee for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Peterlee
For anyone letting property in or around Peterlee, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Peterlee
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. 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.
