Repair or replace in Huyton?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.
When to call us in Huyton

Common questions in Huyton
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you work in Huyton?
We do. We send a technician to Huyton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Huyton
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Huyton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
