DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Snibston
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Snibston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Snibston
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Snibston. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Snibston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
