DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Great Chilton: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Great Chilton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Great Chilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Great Chilton. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
