Bicknacre: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Bicknacre
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bicknacre. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
