Linby: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Linby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Linby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Linby, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Linby
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Linby get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
