FAQs for Hale

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Hale included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hale

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hale and across Surrey. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

When to call us in Hale

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Hale

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hale

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
