Evington: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Evington without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Evington and across Leicester. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole suite

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Evington?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Evington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

If you are in Evington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Evington?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Evington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Evington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

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)

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