What affects the price in Austerlands

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Austerlands

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Austerlands

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Austerlands as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Austerlands

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Austerlands?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Austerlands

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you come to Austerlands?

We do. Technicians travel to Austerlands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

All of Oldham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
