Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lumby

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lumby as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key 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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Lumby

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Lumby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lumby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lumby

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Customers normally contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Lumby

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

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.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Lumby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
