How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Howlett End, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Howlett End, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Howlett End
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Howlett End. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price 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 to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howlett End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Howlett End
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Howlett End?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Howlett End?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Howlett End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the entire UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
