Landlords, agents and businesses in Duton Hill
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Duton Hill
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Duton Hill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Duton Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Duton Hill?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
