East Didsbury: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do you come to East Didsbury?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to East Didsbury and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Common problems we fix in East Didsbury

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • 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.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in East Didsbury

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

Repair or replace in East Didsbury?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlord and trade work in East Didsbury

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around East Didsbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
