DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Lode without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Questions from Lode
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Lode?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Common problems we fix in Lode
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Lode
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lode. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
