How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for 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 will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Channel's End

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Channel's End.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover Channel's End?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Channel's End and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Channel's End

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Channel's End. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
