The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Watley's End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Watley's End

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

Questions from Watley's End

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Watley's End?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS36 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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