When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Audlin, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Questions from Thorpe Audlin
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
