Landlord and trade work in Southgate
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Southgate
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Southgate
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Southgate
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Swansea. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
