FAQs for Buckland St Mary

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Buckland St Mary, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckland St Mary

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Buckland St Mary, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
