Landlords, agents and businesses in Bensham
If you manage property in Bensham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Bensham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bensham. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bensham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Bensham questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Bensham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bensham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
