Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Stowting, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
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.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Stowting
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Stowting
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stowting.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
What affects the price in Stowting
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
