Questions from Dean Bank

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Are there extra charges for Dean Bank?

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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 book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Dean Bank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Dean Bank

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
