How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PO20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Selsey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Common problems we fix in Selsey
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Selsey questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Selsey?
We do. We send a technician to Selsey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
