Coloured bath resurfacing in Lowerhouses, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lowerhouses, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from Lowerhouses
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Lowerhouses?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lowerhouses from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
