DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Barton
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Barton
Is there a call-out fee?

What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
