DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Little Wakering
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Little Wakering. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
