Questions from Hartforth
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartforth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
