Landlords, agents and businesses in Chicksands

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chicksands as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Chicksands, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chicksands, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Chicksands?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

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

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Chicksands

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Chicksands included. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
