How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
When to call us in Donhead St Mary
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in Donhead St Mary
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Donhead St Mary. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
