- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Coloured bath resurfacing in Elstow, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Elstow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Elstow?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elstow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Elstow questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
