Questions from Hallthwaites
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hallthwaites.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hallthwaites
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Hallthwaites
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hallthwaites. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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 photos, as it can add time.
