Landlords, agents and businesses in Almshouse Green
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Almshouse Green
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Almshouse Green contact us are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in Almshouse Green
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Almshouse Green?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Almshouse Green
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Almshouse Green?
We do. We send a technician to Almshouse Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CO9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
