What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hyde Lea
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Hyde Lea
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hyde Lea. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hyde Lea?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hyde Lea. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Hyde Lea and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Hyde Lea
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hyde Lea
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
