How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lendings

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits

We won’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Lendings

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lendings as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Lendings

Are there extra charges for Lendings?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
