Hartford: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Hartford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hartford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartford
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Common problems we fix in Hartford
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Common reasons people in Hartford contact us include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Covering Hartford
Hartford is about 1 mile east of Huntingdon, in Cambridgeshire. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Our technicians cover all 371 towns and villages in Cambridgeshire. We work right across the region, from Hartford to London (about 58 miles away).
Every address in PE29 and PE28 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes homes on Mill Road, Clare Road and Main Street. We also travel to Huntingdon (1 mile west), Sapley (1 mile north-west), Wyton (1 mile east), Houghton (2 miles east) and Godmanchester (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Cambridge (15 miles south-east), St Neots (9 miles south-west), St Ives (4 miles east), Whittlesey (15 miles north), Cambourne (9 miles south-east) and Chatteris (12 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Hartford
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Peter's School, Barley Mow pub and Huntingdonshire Regional College. Nearby too are Hartford Infant School (0.6 miles south-west) and Church of All Saints (less than half a mile south). The nearest railway station is Huntingdon station, about 1.7 miles south-west. Nearby you’ll also find Hinchingbrooke Hospital (1.9 miles west) and Cromwell Museum (1.3 miles south-west). The countryside around Hartford includes Godmanchester Nature Reserve.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartford
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
