The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Upper Beeding?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Upper Beeding: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
