The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Margaretting Tye questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Margaretting Tye?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Margaretting Tye for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
