When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Stapenhill

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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

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

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Stapenhill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Stapenhill

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you come to Stapenhill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Stapenhill and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
