Landlord and trade work in Kelhead
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Kelhead without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Kelhead
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Kelhead?

Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Kelhead
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
