Haultwick: your questions answered
What do you need from me?

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Haultwick
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Haultwick?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Haultwick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Haultwick. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
