For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Polgooth?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Common reasons people in Polgooth contact us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace in Polgooth?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Polgooth
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Polgooth
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Polgooth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Polgooth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
