When to call us in Littlemoss

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Look out for these signs:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Coloured bath resurfacing in Littlemoss, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Littlemoss questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Littlemoss?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your M43 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are there extra charges for Littlemoss?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Littlemoss?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Littlemoss for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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.

Landlord and trade work in Littlemoss

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
