Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Great Lea Common

For anyone letting property in or around Great Lea Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Great Lea Common

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Great Lea Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
