Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Coloured bath resurfacing in May Bank, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
Your technician turns 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 one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in May Bank
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in May Bank
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
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 will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Common questions in May Bank
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in May Bank?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to May Bank for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Stoke-on-Trent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
