Questions from Droylsden

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Droylsden included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Droylsden?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Droylsden

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Droylsden and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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.

When to call us in Droylsden

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
