- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Shover's Green without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
