We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Playford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Playford as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Playford
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- 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)

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
