Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Thurvaston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Questions from Lower Thurvaston
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Thurvaston?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What else we do in Lower Thurvaston
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower Thurvaston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
