FAQs for Pooley Bridge
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Pooley Bridge?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Pooley Bridge. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Pooley Bridge
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Pooley Bridge
Landlord and trade work in Pooley Bridge
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
