Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Southford

Southford questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Southford?
We do. We send a technician to Southford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
