Fornham All Saints questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Fornham All Saints, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

What affects the price in Fornham All Saints

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fornham All Saints. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
