Landlord and trade work in Colton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Colton questions

Do you come to Colton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Colton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What we are called out for in Colton

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Colton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Colton

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Honest limits

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Colton

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote.
