Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Tooting Bec questions

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover Tooting Bec?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Tooting Bec and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Honest limits

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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

When to call us in Tooting Bec

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
