DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Billingford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
