DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Sutton Scarsdale

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Sutton Scarsdale

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves 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 one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Sutton Scarsdale questions

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Sutton Scarsdale?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sutton Scarsdale

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

  • 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

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
