Common questions in Chilton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are there extra charges for Chilton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Chilton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Chilton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chilton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Chilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Repair or replace in Chilton?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
