The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Standon questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Standon

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Standon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
