Landlords, agents and businesses in Stainton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Stainton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stainton. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Stainton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Stainton?
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What else we do in Stainton
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Stainton
Are there extra charges for Stainton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA11 postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stainton.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 before booking.
