Common questions in Garthorpe
Do you cover Garthorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Garthorpe and the rest of North Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Garthorpe?
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.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- 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
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Garthorpe
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Garthorpe. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Garthorpe customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
