DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Small Hythe

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Small Hythe questions

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
