Common questions in Legburthwaite
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Legburthwaite
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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 day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
