How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Shirley
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Shirley. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shirley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Shirley

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 normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour 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’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before you book
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

FAQs for Shirley
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover the entire of Southampton?
Everywhere in the UK, Shirley included. Travel is included in the price.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
