Repair or replace: which is better?

Common questions in Newington
Are there extra charges for Newington?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Newington?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your OX10 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
What affects the price in Newington
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Newington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
