DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Sandwick without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Sandwick
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Sandwick?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What affects the price in Sandwick
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
