For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Waltham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Waltham
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Everything repaired in place

FAQs for Great Waltham
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What affects the price in Great Waltham
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
