Should you replace it?

What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Barrowden questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are there extra charges for Barrowden?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Barrowden and the rest of Rutland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Barrowden?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Barrowden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Common problems we fix in Barrowden

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlord and trade work in Barrowden

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
