Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What else we do in Fornham St Martin
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fornham St Martin
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fornham St Martin use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fornham St Martin, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Fornham St Martin
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fornham St Martin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
