Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Broughton
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Broughton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
