Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Riddings

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Riddings?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Riddings

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Questions from Riddings

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

Across the UK, so Riddings is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
