Common questions in Croydon

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Croydon, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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)

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Croydon as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Croydon

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

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.

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Croydon. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
