DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Little Chester
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

What else we do in Little Chester
Little Chester: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Chester. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
