Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Great Canney questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Great Canney?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What affects the price in Great Canney

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Canney

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
