Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Spott
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Spott
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Spott?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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’ll tell you honestly.
