Do you work in Thriplow?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Thriplow. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you do the toilet too?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
