What affects the price in Crankwood
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crankwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire suite
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
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.

Crankwood: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Wigan. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
