What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Mill Brow without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mill Brow

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

When to call us in Mill Brow

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Mill Brow

Can you do the toilet too?

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. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
