FAQs for Hathershaw
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Hathershaw?
We do. We send a technician to Hathershaw for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Hathershaw get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
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 won’t last.
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.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hathershaw
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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 price.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
