We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Holcombe

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Holcombe

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Holcombe?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
