Common questions in Bernards Heath
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bernards Heath
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 generally cheaper.
What we are called out for in Bernards Heath
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bernards Heath. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
