Repair or replace: which is better?

When we’d advise against a repair
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)

New England questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for New England?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including New England and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What affects the price in New England
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
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.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job 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.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
