Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ponders End

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one 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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ponders End

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

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 turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Ponders End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
