- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire suite
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Compton Valence: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
