Common questions in Dalston
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Dalston
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Dalston. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Dalston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Most customers in Dalston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
