Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bathgate

If you manage property in Bathgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bathgate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Bathgate

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bathgate. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bathgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you come to Bathgate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bathgate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
