Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Icknield: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Icknield?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Icknield and the rest of Luton. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace in Icknield?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Icknield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
