Landlords, agents and businesses in Hornby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hornby without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Advice
FAQs for Hornby
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Hornby?
We do. Technicians travel to Hornby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hornby?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hornby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
