Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cambourne, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cambourne as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Cambourne

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cambourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Cambourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Cambourne

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Cambourne

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Cambourne?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
