Ireton Wood questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Ireton Wood?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ireton Wood
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Ireton Wood
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Ireton Wood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.

- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
