FAQs for Snittongate
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Snittongate
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
