How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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 means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sewards End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Sewards End

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Sewards End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Sewards End

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
