How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Donnybrook Quarter

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Donnybrook Quarter

Common questions in Donnybrook Quarter

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We cover the whole UK, including Donnybrook Quarter and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Are there extra charges for Donnybrook Quarter?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Donnybrook Quarter?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Donnybrook Quarter for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
