Landlord and trade work in Knotty Ash
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Knotty Ash
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
