When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Perlethorpe, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare 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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Perlethorpe

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Perlethorpe?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NG22 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Perlethorpe?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
