Smithfield questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Smithfield without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll 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?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What affects the price in Smithfield
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, 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)

Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
