Clifton: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Clifton.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Clifton
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Clifton. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Clifton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
