Common questions in Bankfoot
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Bankfoot without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Bankfoot
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
