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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Grove Hill
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Grove Hill
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Grove Hill. The price reflects:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Grove Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
