- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Gamlingay Great Heath: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Gamlingay Great Heath is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gamlingay Great Heath
If you manage property in Gamlingay Great Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
