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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lutton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Lutton
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Lutton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Lutton: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Lutton and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
