DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Hempstead

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you come to Hempstead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hempstead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hempstead.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Hempstead

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Hempstead customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Hempstead

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Most clients in Hempstead get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
