Questions from Owston
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Owston?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE15 postcode.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Owston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Owston
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
