Landlords, agents and businesses in Ivegill
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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 in Ivegill without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

FAQs for Ivegill
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CA4 postcode.
Are there extra charges for Ivegill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
