Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Margaretting, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Margaretting without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays

- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Repair or replace in Margaretting?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
