Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Canon's Town. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Canon's Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Canon's Town as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Canon's Town

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Canon's Town?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR27 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
