Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Upper Pond Street. Prices do not change with location.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Pond Street?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Pond Street without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

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

What we are called out for in Upper Pond Street

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Upper Pond Street contact us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Get a quote

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
