DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Houghton St Giles
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Houghton St Giles
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Houghton St Giles is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Houghton St Giles.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally 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.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
