- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from North Whilborough
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in North Whilborough, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
