What affects the price in Whittlebury
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Whittlebury
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Whittlebury
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Whittlebury questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
