Is my repair covered?

How do I book?

Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
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’ll say so.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rackwick
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Rackwick
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Common problems we fix in Rackwick
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KW17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
