Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we are called out for in Portesham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Questions from Portesham
What happens once I’ve sent photos?

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Portesham. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Portesham
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Most clients in Portesham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
