Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Newton Ketton. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Newton Ketton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
