How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlord and trade work in North Shoebury
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SS3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for North Shoebury
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
