Common questions in Braehead

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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.

Do you cover Braehead?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Braehead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Braehead without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Braehead

Common problems we fix in Braehead

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Landlords, agents and businesses in Braehead

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Braehead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ML11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
