Our hiring checklist

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Tindale Crescent

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tindale Crescent and across County Durham. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Tindale Crescent

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover Tindale Crescent?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tindale Crescent for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Tindale Crescent. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tindale Crescent. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
