FAQs for Little London

Are there extra charges for Little London?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Little London?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Little London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Little London

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Little London, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little London. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Little London

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
