Bilsby: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Bilsby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bilsby. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LN13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
