What affects the price in Hangingbridge

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hangingbridge. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Hangingbridge, 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.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hangingbridge without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Hangingbridge

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Hangingbridge questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Hangingbridge?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hangingbridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

The process

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
