DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in London Apprentice
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in London Apprentice
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the entire UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Common questions in London Apprentice
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
