Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Harper's Gate

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harper's Gate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Harper's Gate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Harper's Gate: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

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.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Harper's Gate?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What a repair can’t fix

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 will tell you honestly before you book.
