Repair or replace in East Down?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the whole UK
- A fixed quote before you book
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Questions from East Down
Are there extra charges for East Down?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in East Down?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Down use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
