Sandling: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Sandling?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Sandling?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Landlord and trade work in Sandling
Letting agents frequently 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in Sandling
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Sandling. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
