Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for East Barkwith
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.
Do you cover East Barkwith?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to East Barkwith and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
