DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Rudyard, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rudyard and across Staffordshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Rudyard questions
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for Rudyard?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Most clients in Rudyard get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Rudyard
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlord and trade work in Rudyard
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
