We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Whitford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Whitford?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When to call us in Whitford
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Whitford. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
