Common questions in Elmswell
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Elmswell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?

Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

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 will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
