Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartford

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Hartford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hartford

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repairing versus replacing in Hartford

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hartford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole suite

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Hartford

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cheshire West and Chester.
