Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH1 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you work in Lansdowne?

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Lansdowne included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Lansdowne without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
