Repairing versus replacing in Rookhope
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Rookhope questions
Do you come to Rookhope?
We do. Technicians travel to Rookhope from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Rookhope?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL13 postcode.
What affects the price in Rookhope
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Rookhope. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Rookhope
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote

Landlord and trade work in Rookhope
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
