What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Whitle

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whitle and across Derbyshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Whitle

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Whitle, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace in Whitle?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Whitle

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

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 there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Whitle

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
