Common questions in Retford
Are there extra charges for Retford?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Retford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Retford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Retford
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Retford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Retford
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Retford
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
