What affects the price in Ballingdon Bottom
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ballingdon Bottom, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ballingdon Bottom. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
