Landlord and trade work in Nettleden

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Nettleden without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Nettleden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Nettleden customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Nettleden. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire suite

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Nettleden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

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.

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

What we’re called out for in Nettleden

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

Look out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Nettleden questions

Do you come to Nettleden?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Nettleden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
