DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we are called out for in Buckland Hollow
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Common questions in Buckland Hollow
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Buckland Hollow. Prices do not change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
