The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tollesby, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tollesby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Middlesbrough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
