Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shadforth, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shadforth as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Shadforth
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
