Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Houghton
Most suites take one or 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 faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Houghton
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Houghton?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

You do not 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Houghton. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- 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, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

What else we do in Houghton
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
