DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in East Hunsbury

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • 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: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in East Hunsbury

Do you come to East Hunsbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to East Hunsbury. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Repair or replace in East Hunsbury?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
