Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Acharacle?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white 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 items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Acharacle

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There is 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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 photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We 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)

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

Materials we work on in Acharacle

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Common questions in Acharacle

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Acharacle?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
