Landlord and trade work in Scawsby
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 can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Scawsby
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

FAQs for Scawsby
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?
We work UK-wide, so Scawsby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
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.
