A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in New Eltham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for New Eltham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common questions in New Eltham
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including New Eltham and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to New Eltham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to New Eltham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What else we do in New Eltham
Repair or replace in New Eltham?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in New Eltham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair cannot fix
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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in New Eltham
- Whole bathroom suites

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
