Questions from High Dyke
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in High Dyke
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in High Dyke
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
Repairing versus replacing in High Dyke
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we can’t 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
