The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Coloured bath resurfacing in Woodland without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Woodland
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Woodland
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Woodland
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover Woodland?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woodland and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
