It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Cat's Common

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What affects the price in Cat's Common

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cat's Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cat's Common

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
