DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Birkby

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Birkby questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are there extra charges for Birkby?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What affects the price in Birkby

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

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.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Birkby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Birkby

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
