How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Linton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Linton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repair or replace in Linton?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Linton
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.
What affects the price in Linton

- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
