What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Lawford
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Lawford?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
