What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hookwood

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Hookwood

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Hookwood

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hookwood

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hookwood

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
