Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Great Lumley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Great Lumley?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DH3 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.
What affects the price in Great Lumley
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add 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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Lumley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What your quote should include
