Houghton Conquest questions

Do you cover the entire of Central Bedfordshire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Houghton Conquest

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

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Houghton Conquest

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Houghton Conquest, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Houghton Conquest. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Houghton Conquest

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

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

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 reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not 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.
