Coloured bath resurfacing in Land Gate

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Land Gate

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Land Gate questions

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Land Gate?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What affects the price in Land Gate

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Land Gate. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Land Gate

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
