Dickleburgh: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Dickleburgh
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dickleburgh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Dickleburgh
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
