FAQs for Downend
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
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 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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Downend. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Downend
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Downend contact us are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
