Questions from Radford
Can I add another job to the visit?

Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Radford?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Radford, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We don’t add 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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Radford. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Most clients in Radford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Radford
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in Radford
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
