How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, 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 before you book.

What affects the price in South Weald
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

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