The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Highburton questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Repair or replace in Highburton?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Highburton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Highburton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
